I LOVE art crafts that are easy and successful! Parents website recently shared some easy Masterpiece Paintings. We decided to give Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh a try. So EASY…So FUN!
Begin by gathering the following supplies, which you probably already have at home:
-white paper
-crayons (yellow, gray, black, and white)
-star stickers
-water colors
Next, have students draw a moon and several curling and swirling lines using the crayons. We found that if you used pressed hard with the crayon, it worked better when adding the watercolors.
After adding the swirling lines, have students add yellow star stickers to their paper.
Finally, add watercolors to create a dramatic effect! I encouraged the girls to create their own interpretation of the painting.
This was really easy and quick!
